That's ok. I don't understand DSP. I don't think anybody understands
everything.
But please have some respect for other peoples projects / jobs / hobbies
etc.

I don't fully know what your trying to get at here, but I'm sure your aware
that
each persons ears are unique, and hence as the brain "un-filters" audio and
makes
sense of it, it takes the filtering of the ears' shape into account and can
construct
a better understanding of the audio.
This is simple not possible with sterio. Or mono for that matter.
Ambisonics, or
5.1 setups do allow for these principles to be used.

Again I'm struggling to see what your saying with regards to the cochlear
implant,
but again I'll request you to respect other people, and thier work. After
all, who knows,
maybe they wanted to do a sterio mix, but thier company said "no we do 5.1".
